There are performances that captivate you from start to finish. You know, the ones where you just can’t take your eyes off of them. These ballerinas with puppets are one of those miraculous displays of art that leave you stunned. 3 women perform a ballet routine while connected to 2 dolls each, and it’s hilarious.

This comical performance is so ingenious it will have you slapping your knee. What looks like 9 dancers are actually just 3!

The 3 ballerinas deliver the perfect mix of dance and comedy all while attached to those puppets.

At first, it looks like 9 dancers on stage getting ready to perform. But look a little closer and you’ll see that each dancer is connected to two puppets. The ballerinas start performing their routine in a line and it’s really funny. But kudos to their creativity!

Long poles connect the ballerinas to the dolls and they’re placed on the legs and arms of the puppets so every time the ballerinas move, the dolls mimic them. It’s brilliant!

Every move the ballerinas make are matched by the puppets. Those jumping jacks got the crowd giggling!

The mix of ballet, comedy, and acting works and the audience cannot stop laughing. Altogether, the ballerina’s jerk there arms making the dolls go wild and it looks they’re really getting into it.

The brainchild of this act deserves a pat on the back! I wonder how many dolls this would work with? How about adding a few more next time?

Dancing is hard enough so this really takes some major upper-body and leg strength.

These ballerinas are amazing, how do they keep going for so long? This requires a different level of fitness just so we’re clear.

Seeing the dolls flop around is a joy to watch. You could watch this video over and over and still get a laugh out of it. The whole act had the dancer’s playfully bouncing around, acting silly and entertaining the crowd.

The ballerinas went to ‘raise the roof,’ with the dolls following suit.

It’s a mirror dance to the fullest, so for every move the dancers make, the dolls mimic the movement. The audience explodes in laughter with every move. This is not something you’ll see all the time!

Who knew ballet could be so funny?

Towards the end of the video, the dancers spin on a pivot with all 6 dolls swinging around.

For the grand finale, the comical ballerinas whip the dolls around in a 360-degree turnover and over again. Good thing they’re puppets, or else the final act may have given them whiplash!

Gracefully bowing, the ballerinas scurry off the stage. Even them walking off stage is super fun to see, all the little puppet legs rapidly moving about. (This would look so freaky in a horror house.)

These ballerinas are extremely talented and hysterical that you won’t stop laughing until it’s done.
